all sold significantly well with the exception of TF and MGS since I haven't the foggiest
and seeing as PS4s are sold out and a said exclusive game is coming out as well to wet those new buyers appetite I see it selling well
more then XO version of TF?
I don't know... but I wouldn't be GOD smacked if it did

there is a lot of factors to consider too
the PS4 userbase size, the attach rate, the marketing appeal, etc...
the list goes on and on.... one can't look at the series previous sales and compare it relative to the new games success.... especially if it is on a new generational console with a hungry new userbase

monthly bro, monthly. although what is the most speculated reason why X1 sales spiked last month? Pre-titan-fallers buying for the beta? In general view of things, MS will make massive awareness of Titanfall, price discounts and the game will get buzzing reviews and all. The 'first' next gen game to buy into next gen blah blah blah
400k x1 vs 200k ps4 in march is feasible.
unless Infamous turns out really really good and not just Infamous part 3, there is no 'big
game for ps4 in the next few months.

So, at first I was hopeful that we'd see some Y/Y software growth next month, but I've been looking back at March 2013.
It had:
As well as everything else in the all formats and some titles outside of it >100K. Even the Wii U had a title over 100K with Lego City Undercover.
Meanwhile, is this an accurate release listing for the March 2014 tracking period?
I just can't see these matching up to the software slate from last March, even with finally having the likes of Infamous and Titanfall to drive next gen software sales. 
It had:
Code:
Bioshock Infinite 878K
Tomb Raider 640K
Gears of War: Judgment 620K
God of War: Ascension 570K + 60K in bundles
Call of Duty: Black Ops II >365K
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon >365KMeanwhile, is this an accurate release listing for the March 2014 tracking period?
Code:
Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F PSVita
South Park: The Stick of Truth Win, PS3, X360
Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky PS3
Dark Souls II PS3, X360
Titanfall Win, XBO
Yoshi's New Island 3DS
Final Fantasy X HD Remaster PS3, PSVita
Final Fantasy X-2 HD Remaster PS3, PSVita
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes PS3, PS4, X360, XBO
Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z Win, PS3, X360
Infamous: Second Son PS4
BlazBlue: Chronophantasma PS3
Deception IV: Blood Ties PS3, PSVita
Diablo III: Reaper of Souls Win, Mac
The Witch and the Hundred Knight PS3
Titanfall X360
MLB 14: The Show PS3, PSVita
Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends PS4, PS3, PSVitaPeople can say whatever they please, the staggered release dates won't have a material impact on the sales trajectory just the short-term reporting. Look on the bright side: Infamous will almost certainly be the "fastest selling" new-gen title launched in March during the initial reporting period. ;-)
While I suspect Second Son will indeed outsell Titanfall on PS4/Xbone given a half-decent marketing campaign, I fully expect TF to have serious legs if you include PC and 360. It should do substantially better across all platforms combined or it risks being dubbed a huge failure.

Infamous + TItanfall + Dark Souls 2 + South Park + MGS:GZ + FFX HD on top of that really should push this month ahead
MLB The Show is an April / May release though. edit: Wait does April 1st fall into the tracking period? Guess it does.
It's an ok selling franchise for Sony. But I think the next gen hype, pretty visuals, solid game and possible scores, along with slim pickins on the console and 6 mill userbase is going to cause it to do brisk sales. I don't think looking at the previous titles sales is going to be indicative of the sales potential of this title.
Well the Titanfall bundle sold me a XB1 in March.
Only paid about $250 for it total in cash because I took advantage of GameStop's 50% bonus trade-ins to get rid of my old Wii (don't need it with the Wii U) and my 360 (all I had left was Halo 3/4 on it). Also dumped Battlefield 4 on PS4 because, y'know crashes.

What marketing campaign for Second Son? I intend on buying it but there is no comparison in terms of marketing. You have titanfall and then you have everything else. It's all over the place. I've yet to see ads for Infamous yet have been seeing ads for Titanfall since launch of Xbox One.
No way in hell Infamous sells more in the U.S. (we are talking about NPD here) short term or long term. Also as far as "fastest selling", how could you not give the edge to Titanfall? Stores even opened up at midnight for it. It will easily hold the record for best selling next gen title in a single day.
